Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons safflower oil, divided
9 ounces skirt steak, cut with the grain into 4-inch-long pieces, then against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, or New York strip steak, cut against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt
A 1 1/2-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, minced (about 3 tablespoons)
1 1/2 red Thai chiles or 1/2 jalapeno, minced, seeds and ribs included
1 1/2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, white and green parts separated
1 1/2 bunches asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and sliced on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
Cooked rice, for serving
Lime wedges and dry-roasted peanuts, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirl to coat, and add steak. Season with salt and sear, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to wok and swirl to coat. Add ginger, chiles, and scallion whites and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return steak to wok, along with scallion greens. Toss to combine and heat through. Remove from heat and season with salt. Serve over rice with lime wedges for squeezing and peanuts.

I made this stir-fry last night and it was delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was still slightly crunchy. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more ginger and garlic next time. The steak was also a bit tough. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.
